This site was examined as part of Bord Gáis Éireann’s Pipeline to the West. A spread of dark grey, sandy silt with frequent stones and gravel was identified during monitoring of topsoil-stripping. This deposit measured 1.12m by 1.4m and contained a smaller patch of dark brown, organic material. On further excavation, it became clear that the organic material was a decayed tree root and that the entire spread was a result of root disturbance. No archaeological deposits or artefacts were observed.
